    To be fair, early Fury was not great vs smaller sneaky guys who targeted his body. McDermott legitimately did deserve the nod against him, though not 8-2 like the commentators claimed. McDermot was able to get him on the ropes and sneak body shots. I think Fury is vastly improved vs small guys now, but early on he struggled on a few occasions vs them. He even got dropped by some random club fighter.

    Still better than McDermott and Cunningham which was the point of including them to show Fury's ability to improve.

    Oh, wait, now they'll come up with the usual "Fury's been knocked down few times, once by a cruiserweight even" like a cruiser is a light person or being knocked down negates a record with no losses so far. Boil it, bake it, but it's always anti-Fury. People even invent "odd clinching" as a rule here.

    But Fury won and this does not make a good argument for Usyk beating him (which is the real point).
    Fury will probably win no matter how much BS people come up with.
    And yes, Lennox still beat Vitali no matter how much imaginary math you concoct.

    Lewis beat Vitali because of the cut, he was being clearly out-boxed until Vitali was cut.

    These threads make me laugh. Fury clearly was not taking Cunningham very seriously, and was behaving erratically from the get go. He had no trainer (Peter Fury) in his corner.

    Clearly you are clueless about the rules or even the basic point of boxing.
    Lennox hurt Vitali MORE. So, he was out fighting him. Clearly.
    In fact, he hurt Vitali so bad the fight had to be stopped.
    Vitali lost according to the rules of boxing.
    You don't win because you put up a pretty good fight before you LOST.

    Nevin Pajkic. he had 5 ko's in 16 fights. Fury also backed out of a fight against Ustinov, whining that him showing up in shape was a conspiracy by Wlad, Vit, Haye, and Chisora to get rid of him.

    The fight was stopped on a cut and this isn`t MMA you don`t get more points for hurting people.

    Neither one is or was as good as prime Cunningham. They weren't even as good as washed up Cunningham Fury fought.

    When I go to sleep at night I take a cocktail of drugs that allows me to travel across inter dimensional astral planes in order to not only see the future but the past through different timelines. Tyson Fury cannot be beaten.
